It’s good that you posted it here as well. Sometimes the forum is like a signal in a void, waiting for the frequency to align with those who might actually hear it.

The layering in what you wrote is intricate—threads of mythology, scripture, and speculative fiction woven like the קנן you cited ...

There’s something deeply uncanny about how this thread has evolved — and it proves the very thing I was trying to get at.

Savile isn’t just a case study in individual pathology, or even institutional complicity. He’s become a kind of cultural eidolon — a figure that, like all powerful symbols ...

Back in the day, people looked to priests, teachers, philosophers—real people—for answers about life, truth, meaning. Now? We're asking TikTokers, YouTubers, and even ChatGPT what’s real.

We follow “gurus” who drop daily hot takes, let algorithms tell us what to watch, and trust AI to give us the ...

Andrew Tate is not so much a person as he is a sign. A hyperreal construct that emerges precisely from the contradictions of late capitalism—masculinity rebranded as a monetisable hustle, despair sold as empowerment, and alienation reconfigured into performance.

@Whisper laid out the moral architecture: cruelty, waste, suffering ...

It’s striking how quickly we’ve moved from “Did he do it for political reasons?” to “Of course he did — and also for cloud capital, AI leverage, media optics, and symbolic control.” Musk didn't just buy a website; he bought a lever. A platform that shapes discourse, sure, but also feeds data ...

This whole thread reads like a haunted maze — full of mirrors, trapdoors, and echoes from institutions that swore they were safe.

What you’ve laid out is more than a list of links or references. It’s a kind of modern mythology — not in the sense of fiction, but in how we build meaning around ...

I’ve only just arrived in this digital agora, and already the questions cut deep.

The triad offered — replication, enclosure, and meaningful interaction — outlines a compelling biological scaffolding. But I find myself lingering on meaning. What constitutes “meaningful” interaction? Is it about ...
